I arranged to meet Kenny and pick him up at J8 with his heli so that we could go flying together.THANK GOD my Dad was free..so he offered to send us there :DD
We went to Woodlands to fly...location was near Christ Church Sec and directly beside Singapore Sports School.
OMG...the field was SOOO BIG.
Anyway, I wanted to bring home some memories so I brought the digicam. =)
But ended up not using it anyway. -__-"
WHY??Cos I enjoyed myself so much flying, i forgot to ask Kenny to snap pics of me...UGHH.
So disappointing!!!!!
Haha...and because of today's rebuild, the fuel tank was not placed properly...so the fuel tubing pressed against the engine mount.
Guess what?
The tubing melted partially...and fuel was dripping everywhere.GAH!!
No wonder my RPM was so high.
No wonder there was F**king lots of vibrations.
Scared me to hell.
But i saw it...and thankfully i have fuel tubing in my toolbox :p
I changed it..and all was well again.YAY!
So i was doing basic flying then one botak guy asked me how much i bought my EVO for cos he recently bought one too and wanted to compare prices.
I said "I forgot liao....bought mine 2 years ago." =.="
Then he was like..."oh!so that means your flying is quite good right?"
but i replied "no lah! I've been static for a few months.Hope to fly inverted by next month."
Then he was like"OOOooooo....." , then he left.
Then i got a bit ego...so i went up and did a autorotation from 10 metres high.
I got into fast forward flight and flipped the throttle hold switch.
Autorotation is when you attempt to land the heli when there is no power driving your main blades.
Difficult to explain without meeting up and a heli.
But i richened up my engine cos i was running such a high RPM...(fuel tubing melted..causing a lean run).
But when i replaced the fuel tubing,everything was rich.
And i didnt lean the engine...so my RPM was a little too low for my liking.
But wtf...i proceeded to do an auto as mentioned...but my RPM was too low.
Maybe i timed my flare wrongly....but wth.
When the heli got to about 3 feet off the ground, i could see that my RPM was too low.
So at 1 feet off the ground...i gave full pitch.
There was no damage...however the heli bounced upon impact.
HENG AH!!
I brought my heli back into the pits area and the spectators(fellow heli flyers) told me that i had alot of balls doing an auto. =D
Obviously i was DAMN HAPPY and DAMN HIGH.
There was no-one that was doing them cos maybe they were afraid?
maybe not -_-"
By 5pm...there were alot of people flying kites and i figured i had to 'stay low'.
So i was cheonging near the ground.
About 1 meter up....then turned into nice figure 8's =DD
DAMN NICE LAH!
I love the smoothness from my heli.
Unlike those cRaptors :p
Did many low-level autos...all of which were nice and good!
3rd and Last flight of the day....i ZOOOMED across the sky.
Went nose-in several times but i dint loose my orientation.
Then when i was low on fuel, i did another auto from 3meters...and WHOA!
What a smooth touchdown!!
So nice!!
Then i took off and landed over the circular manhole cover...MY IDEA of the Landing Pad.
=)
Cool eh??
But BOOHOO...i dint captue any of my happy moments!
The camera was in the BLOODY CAR.
I FORGOT TO TAKE IT OUT!! *bang head*
Then I saw Kenny doing his last flight..oh wth.
I'll just take a pic...so i told him to do a hover and i'll snap a pic.
and here it is...
TA DAH!!
Too bad my hp only has a 1.3 megapixel camera....and i only had 4X zoom.
WTF..going any closer to the heli is risking my life.
Oh yes..there's something so RETARDED about today.
Before i went flying...there was someone that added me on MSN.
And i asked who that person was.
And the person said that his/her name was 'min min'
And im liek...WTF..wat kinda shyt name is that?
I thought that she was some kinda 'Lian' from NT stream.
Then i went flying...
When i came back, i saw a friend request from 'Min Min'
BAAAHH
Then when i went to see her profile, GUESS WHAT I SAW??!!
OMFG!!
The address was "Selangor, KL"
*faint*
WHY DO I HAVE PPL FROM NEARBY COUNTRIES ADDING ME ON FRIENDSTER??!!
I know im dark and i look like 'you peeps'.
BUT!! i dont speak Malay...neither do i speak chinese.
Id guess that Malaysian-chinese speak cantonese rather than Chinese and thats even WORSE!!
